I paid closer attention to my recovery HR once done riding.
I kicked it up to 140 with the finish line in sight, then coasted.
In about 1 minute, I was down under 130.
In 3 minutes, 120
4 1/2 minutes to 110
and 100 in about 7 minutes.
I seem to be recovering better on the bike,too.
Once over 140, it is easily doable to keep it there with modest effort, but comes back down to 130 with
an easing up of effort.
I felt really lousy after Saturday's 16 miler, 143 max, 130 avg 42% over 133, but
much better on today's 20 mile ride 145 max 131 avg 56% over 133
I have abandon the 130 max...........now I just let 'er rip..........I do back off once over 142.......
Felt good today, but windy as heck........
